The record was accomplished with a fiber-optic infrastructure, that stretched out to more than 1,864 miles (3,000km). The research team used four "cores" which are glass tubes housed within the fibers that transmit data. These light streams are then processed and amplified by new kinds of fiber amplifiers doped in thulium and erbium. The plus side to this is that regular optical fiber infrastructures can support these types of speeds, but with modifications. Thanks to a new carbon fiber-reinforced hinge architecture, the Wide is rumored to weigh a mere 199 grams, making it lighter than many standard glass-slab flagships and undercutting the Ultra's estimated weight.
